Samsung's Gear S2 smartwatch announced in two different options - the Gear S2, Gear S2 classic and the Gear S2 3G. A mere 11.4-millimeter thin, the Samsung Gear S2 brings a light and compact design to your wrist. It offers an incredibly vibrant viewing experience for a smartwatch with its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 x 360 resolution (302 ppi). Also, with the latest Tizen OS and an optimized 1-GHz Dual-Core processor, the Samsung Gear S2 can perform tasks easily and efficiently.

The Gear S2's unique rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures users will have a quicker, more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications.

New fitness functions on the Samsung Gear S2 will encourage users to stay healthy and active. The 24-hour activity log lets users view daily activity progress and patterns at a glance. It will also send reminder updates to motivate users to stay on track with their fitness goals.

All of these connected features will be supported by a battery that can last up to 2-3 days. To charge, simply place the Samsung Gear S2 on the wireless charging dock right out of the box. Users can easily change the band with one click, and change the watch face for a more personalized and sophisticated Gear experience depending on the time, place or occasion.
